Backslash Artist 2019
Ying's work explores the online worlds and creative interventions of netizens in the ‘Chinternet’ (Chinese Internet) along with the new modes of politics, aesthetics and contemporary consciousness created by the intersections of real and virtual life. Miao lives between Shanghai and New York, but she says that in actual fact she resides ‘on the internet and behind the Great Firewall’. She describes her relationship with the tightly controlled Chinese internet as a form of ‘Stockholm Syndrome’.
